The Volkswagen driver Christian Krognes, Dominik Brinkmann and Ullrich Andree from team LMS Engineering convincingly won the VLN Endurance Championship at the Nürburgring. In their Scirocco GT24 the trio celebrated seven of a possible nine class wins in the hotly contested category of VLN specials with engines of up to 2,000 cc displacement with turbo (SP3T) and had travelled to the season finale as championship leaders. As this was cancelled due to snow and ice the team could not be deprived of the title. After 1982, 1985 and 1989, it is the fourth overall victory for Volkswagen since the championship was established 35 years ago. Winning the VLN Junior Trophy was an additional highlight for Brinkmann/Krognes.

Kelvin van der Linde is the new Volkswagen Polo Cup South Africa Champion. In the big season finale at Kyalami, the 16-year extracted the absolute maximum and convincingly won both races from Kyle Barnes and Jordan Pepper. Van der Linde is, as a result, the youngest ever South African circuit racing champion. Last year’s champion Devin Robertson took the runner-up spoils.

Simon Moss dominated the Formula Volkswagen finale at Kyalami in South Africa by taking race wins and, in doing so, consolidated his second place in the championship. Kruger, who had already celebrated winning the championship crown at the penultimate race weekend, confirmed his consistently good form throughout the season by taking a brace of second places. Nicholas van Weely took a pair of thirds and thus finally took third place in the championship which was hard fought all the way to the last lap.
